Sunday Stash – Purse-suant

Well, I made a purse this week to donate as a raffle prize and forgot to take a picture of it. Instead, here’s the first knitted project I completed: a dishcloth from cotton yarn! I gave it to my friend Judy. It only took 2 false starts before I didn’t drop so many stitches it wasn’t recoverable and didn’t look like a hot mess. Yikes. Learning new things is hard!

Great photo! I took knitting lessons last year and started with a baby blanket as it was knit a row pearl a row and I could use it as a donation quilt. I took it apart only once when somehow it suddenly had more stitches than I added :-). I have made 2 more since then and just started a Harry Potter scarf for the granddaughter which is a challenge because I am knitting in the round.
